David Doubilet
His first adventures beneath the ocean took place, not in some tropical paradise but in the dark and murky waters off the coast of New Jersey where his family had a summer home and where he now lives.

Sujata Keshavan
Sujata Keshavan's career has been one of firsts. She was the first Indian to obtain a post graduate degree in graphic design - from Yale, no less - and, after graduating, she founded the first graphic design consultancy in India.
